Folds and Flexagons: The art of the fold
Monday 10am- 1pm
Available spots
Service Description
This workshop will introduce participants to different folded book structures made from single sheets of paper, including the 8- or 16-page folded book, the Turkish Map Fold and the Flexagon. Also known as ‘shepherd’s purse’ and often used commercially for tourist maps, the Turkish map fold is a simple but fascinating feature to add to a binding. Originally invented by a mathematician, flexagons mimic flat, two-page book structures, but open to reveal hidden pages. Once your structures are built, you will be able to decorate and add content, leaving with books that are all your own. If you have any questions, check out our FAQ page or contact us via norwichprintmakers@gmail.com or via the Contact Us page! Please read our cancellation policy (below) before booking.
